To begin, I want to consolidate the more obvious, surface reasons why I take photographs of myself :

1. I feel attractive in some way and want to record that. 2. Some sort of pivotal moment or experience has occurred, and I want to document it. 3. I’m wearing a new outfit that I want to remember. 4. I’m at a loss for anything else to upload to Instagram. 5. I have a vision I want to fulfill photographically—y’know, just art stuff—and I am my most available model.At the crux of my selfie habit is a need to solidify myself in time, and ultimately, the desire for people to know I exist.
